Karthik was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in September. The surgeon at Kota Regional Medical Center recommended a craniotomy, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $250, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $200 short. my son has been in and out of Kota Regional Medical Center since September. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Karthik struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Karthik won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $200 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105 Thanks for being kind about this.
